Peter, what is the deeper meaning by FIA 6hrs of Spa? I mean FIA?

It is an FIA event. Or it was. I can always edit it if not.

It used to be when they ran the Touring Car series but I guess when that fell away they dropped it. I'll edit the title.

I was just reading them and trying to understand the relevance of some of the regs - 18 mill spark plugs for Ford V8's - will this be bad for Mustangs?

I think that translates as "yes" Simon.

Does it apply to GT40s, Cobras and other Ford V8s too?

Just read them. It does. Also I note the wheel sizes for GT40s have been defined (for period F).
Looks like a Jag Fest this year then. |

For those of you who didn't read the regs last year -Mallet/Drabble etc-they are the same as last year.

You read much younger Jeremy
big valve modern heads are bound to produce less power simon if they're modern narrow stem ultralight weight nascar type valves then reliability is bound to be an issue as well, they'll go on for weeks! re regs, hasn't it always been to FiA App K pre66 regs? |

Caught napping or lack of interest? Germany calling this year. Your right Jeremy,I am behind you in the age stake's. [Come to think of it,I'm behind quite a few other poster's in that as well. Looks like a mistake has been made concerning ZZs,there's NO mention of minimum aspect ratio!! |

Apology accepted Iain I cannot be bothered with Spa this year,becoming much too much like Goodwood for my liking. Very annoying as Vincent and Alaine do not need to worry about filling the grid so why accept Hooky car's ?
If current plan's go north,then I will do Gent Drivers but not the 6hr,probably on my own though. |
